Over 100 years of Meatless Mondays
Why Meatless Monday?
It's not
about being a vegetarian, but; a flex-etarian. A felx-etarian is someone who exchanges animal protein for plant based protein regularly at meals throughout the week. Americans overeat meat, actually 15% more than we should. By cutting animal protein from 3 meals a week, you can reduce your meat intake around 15%. Replacing meat with a plant based protein a few times a week can make significant impacts on your health by lowering your risk for diabetes and heart disease. Meatless Monday is an easy way to become a flex-etarian and improve your health. Going meatless is also about being adventures and having fun with new foods and flavors. Commit one day a week to your health by being thoughtful about the food you eat and where it comes.
